Today I have on Salon Effects in Girl Flower. I really wanted to love it, but it's so pixelated it's annoying. It doesn't look so bad from a distance.

Essie Orange, It's Obvious!
Orange is normally a color I shy away from, but I saw this on Scrangie and it was so pretty, I had to have it. Scrangie has that effect on people lol.
Orange, It's Obvious! is a lovely creamy orange from Essie's Navigate Her Spring 2012 collection. It's not neon, but bright and a little dusty all at the same time. Application was nice. Definitely no complaints there.
This is 3 coats.

Color Club Worth the Risque
Worth the Risque is from Color Club's Femme Fatal collection from Spring 2009. It's a silver, holographic polish with a scattered holo effect. It's not the most holo of the silver holos, but gorgeous in it's own right. I don't know why my camera had some trouble picking up the holo, but I took about a million pictures.
This is 3 coats (you can probably get away with 2).

Layla Magneffect Black Metal
Magnetic nail polish has finally caught on. The days of hoping for Lancome Le Magnetique to find it's way to your doorstep, or stalking ebay to see if there could be any Loreal Magnetic polish for sale are over. There are now several companies offering magnetic nail polish including China Glaze, Nails Inc, Icing, Layla, LCN, etc.
The Layla magnetic polish comes with a magnet that creates lines on the nail and is located on the top of the polish bottle. It's pretty easy to use, but may have a slight learning curve for some. The key is to make sure the nail polish and completely wet and to not hold the magnet too close to the nail or it will pull up droplets, and to not hold the magnet too far away and not get any design at all.
I applied on coat of the polish on all fingers and then went back and applied a second coat, used the magnet and went on to the next finger. After I was done with all fingers, I then applied a top coat.
This is 2 coats of polish.
